Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 207: A Seedling

"Grandfather!? Why call me grandpa! Our Fufeng Liu family doesn't pass down our family traditions through books. There's no need to learn those stinky scholars' literary words! Call me grandpa! Call me grandpa quickly!" Liu Jingang said excitedly with a smile in his tears.

"Grandpa! Your grandson kowtows to you and greets you!"

"Hahahaha! Grandpa! Grandpa! I can finally hear my own precious grandson call me grandpa! Call me grandpa a few more times! Let me, your grandpa, hear it carefully!"

"Grandpa! Grandpa! I'm so happy to see you're still so strong!"

"Hahahaha! It's really comfortable to hear my own grandson calling me grandpa! Hahahaha!"

Liu Feiyun knelt on the ground, feeling depressed: This otherworldly grandpa! Why don’t you let your precious grandson get up first! What’s the matter with him lying outside the gate? Can’t you see that there are many people watching the excitement not far away! If you don’t say anything, I can’t get up either!

Perhaps the heaven heard what Liu Feiyun said in his heart. Amid Liu Jingang's laughter, Mrs. Tao came out again and said, "Ah! This must be the child of the third brother! He is so handsome. Grandpa, you are so mean. The child has been traveling for most of the day and must be tired and hungry! How can you bear to let your baby grandson kneel on the ground! Get up quickly, kid, and follow your second aunt into the house! Wash your face first, change into clean clothes, and eat something simple! When your second uncle and his family come back in the evening, we will have a big family banquet to welcome you!"

As Mrs. Tao spoke, she pulled Liu Feiyun up and looked at him carefully again. She continued with a smile, "When your mother was young, she was the most beautiful among us sisters-in-law! Now not only has her daughter Chang Yijiu been as beautiful as her, but your son is also a man that many girls have fallen in love with! Alas! This man! There is really no comparison! Let's not talk about this! Let's go into the mansion quickly! Father-in-law! Don't you think so!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I can't let my precious grandson starve! Let's go into the mansion! Let's eat, let's eat!"

After having a not-so-simple "simple lunch", Liu Feiyun passively started the chat mode and began to accept the repeated bombardment from his grandfather Liu Jingang and his second aunt Tao.

The two of them kept asking questions, starting with their own illness, then asking about their experience of learning martial arts in the Miyun Sect, and then asking about the situation when they were surrounded and attacked by their enemies when they returned home last year, the invasion of the Northern Wilderness barbarians at the beginning of the year, the recent situation of themselves and their family, and Chang Luo's plans for this visit. The list goes on, without leaving any detail.

The questions made Liu Feiyun dizzy and exhausted, but he could only greet them with a smile and answer every question.

The inquiry session started after lunch and ended in the evening.

Seeing Tao preparing for the dinner, and seeing that the eldest sister Liu Qianqian also arrived at this time, Liu Feiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and sighed in his heart: I am finally free!

Although the Fufeng Marquis' Mansion covers a large area and has prepared a room for Liu Qianqian to live in, most of the time Liu Qianqian prefers to live in the shop opened by her own Green Willow Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, this so-called shop is not a small shop with only one or two rooms, but a pavilion more than ten meters high. The pavilion has all the facilities for eating, drinking, playing and shopping. Now it is also well-known in Changluo City: Cuiliu Pavilion, the headquarters of the Green Willow Chamber of Commerce in Changluo City.

After asking his eldest sister to deal with the old man's nagging for him, Liu Feiyun hurried to the courtyard where his car team was settled and ordered his men to prepare gifts for his grandfather and his uncle's family.

The twelve four-wheeled carriages brought this time included three carriages of tribute, two carriages of books, three carriages of gifts, and four carriages of goods.

Grandpa’s gift was naturally the most important thing, and it filled up an entire car alone.

And my second uncle's family occupied another car.

Speaking of the second uncle Liu Shixiong's family, there are seven daughters in the family, all of whom are now married and have children. However, because the second uncle has no son, three of the seven daughters are married to live-in sons-in-law and live in the Fufeng Earl's mansion. The other four daughters did not marry far away and all lived in Changluo City.

"There are seven cousins, seven cousins-in-law, eleven nephews, ten nieces, and my uncle and aunt's share. Ah! These gifts will take a while to deliver! And they can't be delivered to the wrong people! Wu Xin! I'll leave this matter to you! You can't mess it up for me!"

Liu Feiyun looked at the gifts unloaded from the car, nearly a hundred of them, and felt overwhelmed. He simply shifted the conflict and threw the responsibility to Wu Xin.

"Sir! Please forgive me! These gifts of yours are not of uniform specifications, but vary from person to person. It is even harder to remember them all than to analyze hundreds of intelligence reports! Sir! You should give this task to Rui'er! She is meticulous! She will definitely be able to do it well!"

Wu Xin quickly shifted the blame and pushed the incident onto Si Mingrui.

"You! You're not afraid of not being able to do it! You just don't want to do it, you want to be lazy! I can't do anything about you, Rui'er, can you do it?"

"Don't worry, sir! I'm well prepared! Just summon me when the time comes!"

"Well! That's good! I trust Rui'er the most when it comes to doing things."

Liu Feiyun felt relieved. He had not planned to bring Si Mingrui with him on this trip, but this Si Mingrui was getting more and more beautiful. It was really uncomfortable to have such a beauty by his side all day long: he wanted to eat but couldn't, wanted to eat but didn't dare to, and was afraid that if he ate, he would feel guilty and sorry for his dream lover and Rui'er.

Ah! In one word! I feel so frustrated and anxious!

But I insisted on bringing her here myself, saying that it was a matter of face and I had to bring her here.

Isn't this torture?

The night grew darker and darker, and more and more people came. When the red sun set and the stars began to appear, everyone who was supposed to come had finally arrived.

In the banquet hall, Liu Jingang sat at the head, with his uncle and aunt sitting on either side. Further down, the men sat in one row, the women sat in another, more than 30 people sat at the same table, which was quite impressive.

Liu Feiyun looked at the people at the table, and seemed to understand how old man Liu Jingang felt when he first saw him:

The old man was the only child in his generation.

When it came to his father Liu Shihao's generation, there were four heroes and heroes. For this reason, the old man often boasted among his colleagues about his ability to give birth to sons.

But in my generation, there were 18 children in four rooms, and I was the only one, the rest were all sisters.

What's outrageous is that these sisters who are already married seem to be able to give birth to sons. But in the eyes of the old man, no matter how many sons these granddaughters can give birth to, they are still other people's great-grandchildren, not his own.

What's worse is that according to the imperial law, the titles of nobles like Fufeng Bo and Le'an Bo can only be passed down to males, not females, and the sons born to the son-in-law cannot inherit the title. The only way to be recognized as the successor is by a nephew who is adopted from a brother's family.

But, there are no other brothers of my generation!

He might really be the only heir to the title among the four branches of the Fufeng Liu family.

This is really what is called one seedling in a thousand acres of fertile fields!

Unless Fourth Uncle can find the illegitimate child who was lost!
